Classic arcade, Game and
Watch, Brick Game, Gameboy, Play Station, or any other game consoles. Chances
are all of us had tried having a controller in our hands and just started
playing at least one of these back when we were kids.
Last October 28, I got a chance to experience a very retro event. Outdoor Products collaborated with Pac-Man to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the iconic yellow video game character. With this partnership, Outdoor Products released Pac-man themed backpacks and sling bags.
I went to the event to represent our geek site, The Geekery. We were there for the Pac-man challenge. Three teams, which consist of three members each, competed against each other to win the grand prize, a Pac-Man arcade. I really wanted to win the arcade but unfortunately, we fell short, and only came out as the 2nd placers. Still we had fun playing.
But the contest and arcade weren’t the only things that gave the event a nostalgic vibe. The decorations, the snacks, and the music as well also did send that 80’s and 90’s feeling. Classic gaming consoles, CDs, vinyl, and Game Boy cartridges are everywhere. Those Pac-Man decorations posted and placed all around. Those adorable food and snacks shaped in Pac-man game characters. And the throwback playlist. Everything just took me back in time.
They also had a maze challenge, and of course I tried the challenge. It was an actual maze where you could experience how it is to be Pac-Man. Basically, just gather poke-dots while being chase by those ghosts. I ended up gathering 17 poke-dots before being captured by the ghosts.
Of course, we wouldn’t end the night without taking a picture with the man of the night, or should I say the Pac-Man of the night.
